Permitting Action Modification History

Planned
The overall shift in completion dates on the permitting timetable is due to the timing of the project sponsor’s submission of a revised incidental take authorization (ITA) under the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA).  BOEM uses the information in the Project Sponsor’s complete MMPA application to prepare and submit the EFH assessment and ESA biological assessment to NMFS. The NEPA process is dependent on the timing of the ESA consultation because the final environmental impact statements typically incorporate measures resulting from that consultation. EPA’s OCS air permit and NPDES permit are all dependent on the final completion date for the NEPA action and cross-cutting law actions.

Planned
In mutual agreement with EPA, Atlantic Shores North Project requested an update to the milestone dates on the Dashboard for the OCS Air Permit.  The first milestone (11/6/2024) is being updated to 3/6/2025 so a past/missed date is not reflected on the Dashboard.  The remaining two milestones will be updated through the submittal of an Executive Director Determination request from the lead agency (BOEM) in December 2024.
